Does drinking water prevent corona virus?

Arab Weather - The Corona pandemic that is invading the world now is one of the disasters that have occurred on the scene at the present time, and it is not the first of its kind, as it was preceded by the Spanish influenza and cholera pandemic in previous eras; Covid 19 infection has been associated with many theories and misinformation, the most famous of which is related to drinking water.

Coronaviruses are a group of viruses found in animals. They can rarely be transmitted from animals to humans and then spread from person to person. In addition to the Covid virus (English: COVID-19), other human coronaviruses include the following:

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Virus (MERS).

SARS virus, or acute respiratory syndrome, which first occurred in Guangdong Province, southern China.

What are the symptoms of infection with the Corona virus?

Symptoms of Covid 19 infection range from mild to severe. It takes 2 to 14 days after exposure for symptoms to appear.

Symptoms may include: loss of sense of smell, fever of up to 39.5 degrees, cough, fatigue, fatigue, and shortness of breath.

People with weakened immune systems may experience more serious symptoms, such as: respiratory failure. You may not develop symptoms after exposure to the Coronavirus, and you may recover from the infection without symptoms.

So far, most of the confirmed cases are in adults and the elderly, but this does not prevent some children from becoming infected.

Humans first become infected with the Coronavirus from contact with animals; Then it can spread from person to person through contact with bodily fluids, such as those in coughing and sneezing, or touching something an infected person has touched.

Drinking water prevents infection with the Coronavirus: between truth and illusion!

News comes in about drinking water every 15 minutes. Inferred that drinking water helps the virus to descend into the esophagus, so that it can be killed by stomach acid.

The surprise; The Covid 19 virus may survive even after it passes from the stomach.

Coronavirus may be much stronger than much contagious acid. Some scientific studies have indicated the presence of the Corona virus in the stool of patients with it.

The theory of drinking water to prevent infection with the Coronavirus remains misleading and not scientifically proven.

The relationship between water and the Corona virus

The importance of using water is to wash your hands often with soap for at least 20 seconds, especially when returning home, after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 70% alcohol.

The other thing is; It is that the transmission of the Coronavirus through water has not been proven. As this virus is weak outside the human body, traditional water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection, such as those found in most drinking water systems, can eliminate or inactivate the Covid 19 virus.
